Location- FC road, Pune (on the bylane) .

Date- 15th march 2011.

Cordia gharaf, Gondan in Marathi. Fruits contain 'gond' a sticky
substance earlier used by piercing the fruit as a capsule of gum.

I guess Cordia sinensis Lamk. is a correct name for C. gharaf.

Yes, I agree with H S Ji that Cordia sinensis Lamk. of Boraginaceae family is the correct name and C. gharaf is now a synonym.

Thank you all Dinesh sir, Vijayshankar sir, Mr HS and Giby sir.
It certainly is Cordia sinensis /Grey-leaved cordia.
I hope to capture it again next year with flowers and post it here.

Best Regards

Dear Neha:

loved seeing the bright ripe fruits...

it is called ગુંદી Gundi in gujarati,
my book on gujarat forest flora says it flowers in october-november...
may be the same timetable in puna?

hope that helps in keeping an eye on the tree...
